Your wrong about “what we saw is what we got”
No dude D3 Looked a hell alot diffrent than what it is today Look up the really old gameplay video on Youtube and you will see what i mean.
Also D4 looks Grhapic wise ok IMO BUT Does not really impress me that much…
It looks like D3 with Another Engine and looks like its going to play the same… If they dont make it interesting with talents stats gear etc i wont be buying this since it will just be a D3 copy with a new Engine and i say no thanks to that since the gameplay in D3 are so boring once ur max lvl theres nothing to do. Really NOTHING at all.
There is no end game i dont call mass farm for gear and go For higher greater rifts a end game.
Forgot to add that Another Big misstake blizzard made in D3 was removing the Real inferno difficulty in the original D3 That made it suck even more.
There needs to be a reason to gear up and farm something to strive for that makes it fun. Also Another thing needed are that when you find a legendary or get a set item it needs to make more impact like your char gets way more powerful then Before. otherwise it will be no Point and feel boring like D3 are today…
in my honest opnion they should not have removed the farm spots in D3 and make legendarys rain on us that are shit almost all the time anyway. Theres no prograssion… You have to farm items like a madman and only get like 1stat increase for hours of playing and farming even years…
Thats not a good concept and gameplay imo.
Blizzard i hope you read this and start using ur heads to make this game diffrent and better than both D2 And D3 otherwise this will also be a failed Project thats beter off Canceled Before you put to much time and effort into this.
As a long time veteran and fan of many Blizzard games… for the first time since quite some time I am pretty excited actually. Graphics don’t make a good game, its the artistic direction that is absolutely SPOT ON, the way Diablo was supposed to be since the start.
my thoughts exactly, after playing blizzard games for years i still cant even get close to understanding the psychology of those zombies that go to the forums and praise blizzard on subpar products and adding 5% of things people have been requesting for quite literally 10+ years…
when i saw the trailer, i laughed, facepalmed and moved on with my day
to be clear, im refering to the gameplay trailer, the cinematic trailers are an absolute joke to anyone with half a brain as they never correspond to the real game, look at how good wow vanilla conematic looks, lol
What you write can be applied to all iterations of the Diablo franchise. I don’t understand the love for D2 in the forums. Skill trees were okay but easily exploitable and endgame play, especially, was weak as hell. D3 is far more enjoyable.
It’s an isometric ARPG, what do you want? The story, classes, game play…hell, everything about Diablo is contrived from the standard tropes.
At launch, Diablo IV will have five unique character classes, each bringing its own distinct mechanics that embodies their respective fantasy. Today, let’s talk about the first three we’re bringing to life: the Barbarian, the Sorceress, and the Druid.
totally agree with you Neb, the gameplay, the enviroments and the classes are disappointing, when I saw that Druid design (the fat Malfurion version) I was laughing, the most important thing is that the balance in the game will be done by David Kim … LOL, look what happened to StarCraft II …
D4 Classes revealed: Jaina, the Sorceress, Malfurion, the Druid, ???, the Barbarian (WoW related) (I was hoping for Kirby, the Demon Hunter as well).
I feel disapointed as well, becasue forced online only mod for PC is a shame and very much unfair while console users can enjoy the game without lags and the incompetency of server serivce failures, and knwoing the fact they develope the game to console on a PC is also realy fustrating me. Basicly no one wants this game to be a forced DRM on PC just like in the case of Diablo III. so far i can say no offline mod support for PC? then no Diablo IV to me to buy. And i wont be alone with that. Also who ever came up this this idea to design a Diablo game around Forced DRM he or she must be fired literally now!
PoE is a messy. Only reason I stopped it. It’s one huge laserdisco.
D3 is laserdisco, D2 baal with 8 sorceress is laserdisco.
In D4 you hit with your blade and blood splash around floor.
I was really pleased. Everything! Colors, lights, everything absolutely fantastic. It’s not “warcraft” anymore. In it’s style it’s even superior to D1&D2
just personal opinion. My votes for current graphics!
This may sound like I’m parroting what both Blizzard and others have said, but online only saved players from the temptation of hacked items and characters, which themselves made it pointless to even play when all you had to do to win was to pull out your favorite hex editor to modify a few bits and bytes in your locally stored character files.
I live in an area where the absolute best fixed-line internet connection available to us is 4mbit ADSL. Some might think that it would be impossible to play with such a slow line, but it works for me and has done for the past 7 years.
Indeed, I’d prefer that that offline mode not be a part of the game ever again, as doing so would allow cheaters to more easily hack the internals of the game, thus making even online mode pointless with all the hacks that would spring up.
As I said in an entirely different thread, my sister doesn’t play Diablo. But even she was impressed by what she’s seen in the opening and game-play videos. She’s even start reading my lore books that I’ve collected over the years, and has already said she would like to give it a go this time around.
I am sorry let me tell you why me and otehrs want offline mod for this game. not becasue of cheating, i never cheated in any game that includes Diablo games as well becasue i like to work my ass off to achiev things in legit ways. I want this game to support offline campain becasue i trawel a lot thanx to my job, and when i am in the middle of the sea or nowhere with only electricity is available i would like to hit up my laptop and palying with Diablo without internet. Thats why. and obviusly i wont quit my job just becasue Blizz refuse to add offline mod to PC version of the game. And i am not a console fan. I dont personaly care who is going to cheat the game and ruin their own offline campain, becasue thats not going to effect me nor the online community at all, considering every character what you create on line are stored on the Blizz servers while your offline characters are stored on your HDD wich is completly prevents to go on line on Blizz servers. so basicly there is no point to force this game to become DRM only.
And why is that a shame? well i explained why? becasue console users can enjoy this game in offline mod while the PC can’t. thats the parth of the shamig thing.
There are still palces on the world where there is still no internet connections, nor even a decent one. i even know a place in hungary where your 4 Mb ASDL net will be so much apriciated then having a dial up internet conections this is just one example.
Graphics look really nice. More realism wouldn’t hurt especially in what movement and instant druid metamorphoses are concerned.
Diablo II might have felt clunky but it was a bit more realistic. I mean, when you hit something, you don’t expect to suddenly stop your axe halfway and then immediately turn and run.
My sister is interested too she changed from D2 to skyrim and didn’t play D3 at all. This game has more of her style.
deepstrasz, what’s with druid metamorphs? I feared that you cant play as bear or wolf and have to cycle it constantly. Then they just whispered one moment that just by using only bear skills you can be bear permanently. What a relief. This is it right?
The permanency thing is a point but I was also referring to the fact that shifting from bear to human or wolf and back and forth and so on in a combo fashion may be interesting gameplay wise but looks totally unrealistic. I mean, let’s keep it Diablo, not WoW.
I suggest a different approach to these combos. Permanent morph spells are just for that while in between combo spells should be different. Basically, the druid shouldn’t fully turn wolf or bear when immediately shifting from nature, summon spells to metamorphosis ones. So instead of having the druid become a werewolf or bear during those times, only some sort of sketching of the transformation should appear, something like an aura over their whole body or something. I don’t know. The current way they did it feels weird to me.
